Flickr is a good tool to share photos with anyone. It has many privacy features so only the people you want will be able to see them. Photos from creative commons could be used to introduce a topic as part of a lesson, or as a writing prompt. It is important not to put photos of anyone on Flickr without their permission. Even if Flickr is blocked by a school, it is still possible to use photos from it to place on the school's Web site.

Flickr could also be used to share pictures with other SLMS to give ideas of how something was being used, for example bulletin boards, slide shows and media center layout.

Once photos are on Flickr, they can be used by many other Web sites to create images of magazine covers, calendars, and many others.
